What Did I Ever Do??

What Did I Ever Do??(Alyssa) Why is it that I am always the one that gets bullied??!! I mean, I never do anything to anyone! They do plenty of harsh things to me (believe me!! -_- ) but i never do anything back to them. I'm scared that i will get picked on even more for trying to stand my grounds, or for even telling on them to try to put an end to this bullying i don't deserve. My name is Faith. I am 10 years old, and am always getting bullied. And when i say i get bullied, i mean people are always calling me fat, or a loser, just because i'm a little over weight. I can't even walk out of my house without anybody throwing things at me. Why did God have to put me here on earth if this is going to happen to me?

There i was. Sitting on the bench over by the water fountain at school, when Rose walked up to me. ''Why are you so fat and stupid?'' she asked me. ''Well, i don't know! you tell me'' I responded back. I never really had any good throw-backs because i was always scared i was going to get beat-on or something. ''You're fat cuz you can't stay outta the fridge!!'' she said as she ran off laughing to her so called ''friends''. And here it was. The feeling that i was a nobody once again.

I was on my way home, after the bell rang that dismissed us, when some guy on a bike came up to me and handed me a bible and rode off. ''What is this?'' I wondered to myself, as i never heard of a bible before. I slipped it in my backpack, and continued on my way home.

When i got home, I completed all my homework, then thought about something to do. ''Oh Yeah!!'' I thought. ''I still have that book that that one strange man gave to me''. I opened the ''book'' and inside was a note attatched to it. it said this... ''phillippians 4:13''....hmm i wondered what the heck does that meant? I continued reading it. ''I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHROST WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH'' 'wow, who is christ?' I thought. So I did some research that night, and nearly finished like 5 chapters in the ''book''. I woke up feeling fresh as a new picked apple. I was encouaged by the ''book'' the man handed to me yesterday, and the note that was attatched to it.

I walked to school, prepared to hear the bad things Rose had to say to me. I was walking to class, before the bell rang, when rose walked up to me. ''Heeey fattie!!'' she shouted to me then walked away. ''God Bless you!'' i responded back to her as I sat there and looked at the back of her head. She turned around, puzzled, and gave me this weird look. ''What did u say?......'' She murmured under her tongue. ''I said God Bless you!!'' Then she walked away, not knowing what else to say to me. I was guessing she didn't know who God was, just as I didn't either yesterday.

It was after school, when the bell rang and i was on my way home, walking as usual, when Rose came up to me, and apologized for all the ''good'' times we had had in the past. She gave me a hug, and explained to me why she was the way she was. Turns out she had had a really bad up-bringing.

That day she came to my house and asked me who this ''God'' was. I told her anything and everything she needed to know about him. Then I lent her the ''Book'' that the guy gave to me yesterday. She went home and read it.

The next day, she came up to me and said, ''God Bless you too...'' who knew words were so powerful?! I guess i really was meant to be here in this world. There's a reason for everybody to be here. :)
